A new week.
Monday - Hamburger Patties & Gluten Free Bread. I'm excited to try gluten free bread for the kids. It does contain some rice flour but no wheat. I'm really hoping the kids will like it. I made these cute little hamburgers and neither Tyler or Olivia ate them. Tyler said the bread didn't taste right. I knew Olivia wouldn't eat the bread but I was hoping she would eat the meat. No-go. Tyler ended up eating pepperonis and Olivia had sandwich meat.
Tuesday - I made the kids hot dogs minus the buns. I served a plate to Tyler and he asked where the bun was. I told him we were out and he thought that was okay and he ate the hot dog. Both kids ate their hot dogs, apples, strawberries and chips.
Wednesday - Our weekly visit with the great grandparents. Instead of McDonald's nuggets this week we picked up chicken tenders from a chicken restaurant. It may have been fried but at least it was actual chicken breasts instead of chicken parts. I felt a little better about that.
Thursday - Karate night. Running late. McDonald's.
Friday, Saturday & Sunday - Some good & some bad. We made paleo chicken strips this weekend with chicken breasts, egg, almond meal & coconut flour. Dad & I loved them. Tyler said he didn't like them-but I made a deal with him that I would play more that evening with him if he ate an entire chicken strip. He ate it! WooHoo. He said it was good but he didn't want anymore.
I've found that I am starting to stress myself out worrying about the kid's meals. I have made progress-I have to stop being so hard on myself. I've noticed my grocery bill is less because I'm not buying all of the processed foods I was buying before. The kids are eating more fresh foods than before and I'm more aware of what I'm feeding them.
